Festive season menus: your Christmas and New Year's table, delivered to your historic home

A festive table, without spending the evening in the kitchen

Hosting the whole family for Christmas and New Year's Day often means one person stays at the stove while everyone else sits at the table. From 21 December and throughout the winter, Pierres d'Histoire offers another way: festive menus delivered to each of its homes.

Pierres d'Histoire created this menu with Michelin-starred chefs. Each recipe is prepared in a professional kitchen, then vacuum-packed to preserve its flavours and textures.

It works in four steps:

1. Order in advance through your Pierres d'Histoire contact, choosing the delivery date and time.

2. Receive the dishes at your home, at the agreed time.

3. Finish the plating using the QR code on each dish, which gives you the chef's instructions: a few simple steps, about ten minutes, no special equipment.

4. Sit down to dinner in the drawing room or dining room of your historic home, with no one missing the meal.
